//------------------------------// // Chapter 1: Three People Are Sent to Equestria // Story: Universe Mishap of the Magical Kind // by Zeprto678 //------------------------------// Chapter 1: Three People Are Sent to Equestria I was in my small room, sitting at the table. I was on my laptop, searching up stories to read on the road before I went out. I had only found a few to read, when all of a sudden, my laptop cut off, surprising me. "Huh? What the...? Did the battery die?" I asked. I was confused since the laptop was fully charged. “Ugh. I’ll take care of that later after I get back,” I groaned. I headed for my door, about to leave, but then, there was a weird noise coming from my computer. It sounded like twinkling chimes. “What the...? What was that noise?” I asked, confused. I approached the laptop. A portal appeared on my laptop as soon as I was near it. The portal was a swirl of lots of greens, blues ,and violets with fun splashes of yellows and oranges. There were even sparkles in the shapes of the Mane Six too. "Oh, crap,” I said, shocked. I turned around to run, but then a vortex of air came out of the portal and started to strongly pull me towards it. I tried to get away from the vortex, but it was too strong. "Help!" I shouted. Too bad my TV was a little loud for anyone to hear me. I got lifted up in the air by the pull of the vortex and into the portal. Fortunately, I got stuck halfway through the screen, saving me. I laughed triumphantly at my good fortune. "Ha ha. Now, I just need to free my body from the screen and then I’ll be home free," I said aloud to myself. I twisted my body around and was able to loosen myself up. “Success,” I said. But then I felt myself slide a few inches forward by the pull of the vortex. “Uh-oh.” The portal sucked me through completely and closed behind me. Meanwhile At some person's house in Brazil, a girl was on her phone, drawing. That girl was the mod of the Monster Steven blog. What she was doing was finishing up the next page of her comic. "Finished," she said. She gave off a relieved sigh and uploaded the next page onto her blog. "Time for a snack break since I’ve earned it." She headed for the Kitchen to get a snack. As soon as she was about to pass by her family’s computer, a portal suddenly appeared on the computer screen. A strong vortex of air came out of the portal and surrounded her, pulling her towards its source. She screamed as she tried to fight back against the pull by planting her feet strongly on the floor. Unfortunately, the pull was too great and her feet only slid forward. “Someone, help me!” she screamed. Her head got sucked through, then the rest of her body. Her family arrived just as the portal closed. Meanwhile Some guy was coming back from work, grumpy and tired. "Ugh, need some sleep. I’ll do the chapter later," he grumbled. He was passing by his computer when he noticed something was wrong. There was a portal “screensaver” on it. "What the hell? I don't remember applying a screensaver like that on my computer," he muttered, confused. He walked over to check. As soon as he was in front of the computer, a vortex of air came out of the portal and pulled him through. He screamed as the portal closed behind him. When I woke up, I was a little disoriented. "What happened?" I asked, groaning. I shook my head to clear the cobwebs. "The last thing I remember, I was sucked through some kind of portal through my own laptop? That can't be right." Once my head cleared up, I saw that I was in a forest. I got up and immediately felt like there was something wrong with me in a weird kind of way. For instance, I'm standing up, but not at my own height. I had looked myself over just to see why. The reason shocked me. "No. No no no no. No!” I shouted. I was shocked at my new appearance. I was now a pony-sized, cream-colored Alicorn with blue eyes, short and straight, ocean blue mane and tail with amethyst purple spots on both and had spiky ends. The cutie mark was a plate with a slice of blueberry pie on it with a fork, knife, and a glass cup next to it. I had a small horn on my head and a pair of medium-sized wings on my sides. "Hey, can you keep it down? I'm trying to sleep," said a mysterious voice. The source then groaned. I turned and saw that there were two familiar beings sleeping on the ground. One of them was a mare, while the other was a teenage, female dragon. "Hey, you two. Wake up!" I shouted. I shook them both hard with my hooves, which was weird and a little hard to do. I kept shaking them both until they finally had enough and woke up. The mare was the first to wake up and stood up. She was a mare with a tan coat, a curly, brown mane and tail, a hole in her right hoof, was wearing an olive green-colored military hat with a gold medallion on the front of it, and had a Cutie Mark of a black, broken heart on the sides of her flank. "Ugh, what do you want?" the mare groaned. "Don't ask questions and just take a look at yourself," I said. She rolled her eyes and took a look at herself for a few seconds before looking straight back at me. "I'm Heartbreak, so what?" she commented in a monotone voice. After a few seconds, she had a realization and looked herself over again. "Wait, what?! Why the fet am I my own character?!” screamed the mare. Before I could calm her down, there was another scream. This time it belonged to the dragon. "Can someone please tell me why I am a dragon?!" she screamed. The dragon had a body that was almost pony-like and was covered in scales and fur on different areas of her body. Parts of her were a pastel blue color while others were a light blue color. She had dark grey-colored eyes with black slitted pupils, hair on her head that in some places were brown while in other places were white, a pair of wings on her back,sharp,white spikes on her back and tail,and wearing some leather gloves around her clawed hands. "Girls, calm down," I said. “Girls?” They couldn't hear me over their own screams. So, I took a deep breath. "SHUT UP!" I shouted. They both quieted down. "First question: Are you both from Earth just like me?" I asked. They both nodded. "Second question: You both have Tumblr blogs, right? And if so, what are they?" I asked.They both gave me their Tumblr blog names, which confirmed my suspicions about who they really are."I knew it was you two once I saw you," I said. I was smiling widely. "It's nice to meet you two face-to-face, even though we're not human anymore." I gave them my blog name too. "I can't believe it's you either," said Heartbreak, smiling as well. "So, your Ponysona is an Alicorn? I thought your Ponysona would be something like a Unicorn." wondered Heartbreak. "Nah. My OC's name is Foodie Love, the Alicorn of Food. His talent lies in using his magic to create food and drinks out of thin air," I said. "Thanks to his talent, he could keep an entire kingdom of ponies fed for years. He even has some secrets that he keeps hidden. He was my first Ponysona that I created. Speaking of Ponysonas.” I turned towards the dragon. “As for you.” “What? Me?” the dragon asked, pointing at herself. "Yup. You seemed to have taken the form of the OC I thought up for you for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Her name was Amber, remember?" I asked. After a few seconds, Amber remembered what I was talking about. She snapped her claw fingers. "Oh, yeah. Now I remember," she said. “We talked about it for a while before I ended up drawing her. Can’t believe I ended up looking exactly like her.” I chuckled. “Join the club,” I said. “You know, it’s funny. Still can’t believe I ended up here through a portal on my laptop.” Heartbreak and Amber were surprised to hear that. “Hold on. Did you say a portal appeared on your laptop?” asked Heartbreak, surprised. I chuckled. “Yeah. Sounds crazy once you hear it, right?” I spoke. “Actually, no, it isn’t. That’s how I ended up here as well,” said Amber. “No way, me too,” Heartbreak said. “From the sound of it, there’s no way that it is a coincidence that we all ended up here thanks to some portal,” said Amber. “You’re right,” said Heartbreak. She nodded. “Something or someone brought us here for some kind of purpose. Until then, we have to be on our guards for anyone suspicious.” “Agreed. So, let’s sit down and figure out a plan,” I advised. They all sat down in a circle. "Well, I think we should look for the nearest town or city. After figuring out where we are, we can then head for Ponyville,” she said. “Once we’re there, we can ask Twilight Sparkle to contact Princess Celestia to figure out a way for us to get home." "You might be correct. In some stories, they give somep-p-pony the help they need to get home,” Heartbreak said. “Right,” I nodded in agreement. “But in other stories, the Princesses will try and eliminate the being, thinking they might be a threat to Equestria," she continued. She did that on purpose. “So, no pressure.” She didn’t notice that me and Amber were scared after hearing that there was a chance that we could be killed by the princesses. I cleared my throat. "True, but we don't know which Equestria we're in. We could be in an alternate universe that is either based on the show or could be entirely different," I said. They both knew I was right. Heartbreak groaned. "He's right. For instance, there could be different wielders of the Elements of Harmony. That could throw our knowledge of the show out the window if everything ends up different.” "Right. Except if this is based on the show, then which episode of which season did we appear on?" said Amber. "Also, how are we even supposed to fight back if we end up in danger? I don't know how to fly or use magic, and Amber can't breathe fire or fly. So the only useful one is you, HB," I said. I pointed my right hoof at Heartbreak, which also felt weird without fingers. "Me? Why me? What can I do?" said Heartbreak, confused. "Since you have become Heartbreak, then you might also carry her curses too. For instance, your presence could scare away any of the dangerous creatures or animals of the Everfree Forest," I said. I had a feeling my theory was correct. "True, but that also means that the other curses I've placed on HB are on me too. Including the ones that I haven't revealed yet either. Who knows what could happen?" said Heartbreak. I groaned out of frustration and kicked the dirt with my right front hoof. "Dang it. Why are we so unlucky right now?” I said. “No idea,” said Heartbreak. “Maybe we'll catch a break soon?” Amber turned and noticed something. “Um, whose bags are those?” asked Amber. She pointed her right claw finger at a pair of saddlebags and a backpack. “I think they must have been there the entire time and we just didn’t notice them?” “Huh. Weird,” remarked Heartbreak. All three of us went over to the bags and searched through them. It seems that each of the bags contained the stuff that each of us had on ourselves before we were sent through the portals to Equestria. So, after easily figuring out whose bag was whose because of the stuff inside, we put them on. Heartbreak needed help from Amber for hers. “Does anyone have any idea which direction we should be heading?" I asked. Heartbreak shook her head. “Nope,” she said. "I have an idea,” said Amber. “I'll climb a tree to the top and see if there are any nearby settlements.” “Be careful,” said Heartbreak. “I will,” replied Amber. She went over to a random tree and climbed it easily thanks to her claws. Once she was at the top, she looked around until she spotted something. "I can see Canterlot Mountain in the distance! And I think I can see Ponyville. It’s a little far away." "Which direction is Ponyville?" asked Heartbreak. Amber looked around at the sky until she saw the Sun. After remembering that North is in the opposite direction of the sun’s position, she figured out which direction Ponyville was located. She then jumped down from the tree and pointed in the Northwest direction. "That way. It might take us either a few hours or an entire day to get there depending on whether we run or walk," Amber explained. “How about we run first, then we can walk later to save our energy?” I suggested. I knew it was a stupid plan since we’d just waste up all of our energy running. Also, me and Heartbreak were new to our bodies. We haven’t even adapted to them yet. “Sounds like a good plan, I think,” said Heartbreak, shrugging. She was willing to either walk or run just so she could get to Ponyville and solve one of their problems. “It's the only plan we have right now. So we have no choice but to do that,” said Amber. She wanted to get home too in order to be with her family again. “Oh. Okay,” I said. I was kind of surprised that they agreed with my plan. “Yes!” I thought proudly. The three of them stretched their bodies in order to get limber for the run. “Ready?” I asked. Heartbreak nodded. "Ready," she said. "Ready," said Amber. Then a thought came to my mind. “Hold on a sec. Before we start running, does this forest look familiar to anyone?” I asked. “I swear, it feels like we’re in the Everfree Forest.” “Oh, that’s because I think we are in the Everfree Forest. From the top of the tree, I saw the entire forest. I think we have been in the Everfree Forest the entire time since we’ve first arrived here,” said Amber. “Now that I think about it, she’s right,” said Heartbreak. “I mean with our luck, of course we would end up there.” “Ah, thanks for confirming my suspicions, you two,” I said. “That we’re in the most dangerous forest within Equestria.” Heartbreak and Amber were scared. They weren't the only one. “Let’s forget the ‘go’ and just run already”, I said. “Good idea,” said Heartbreak, agreeing. “Yeah. Let’s get out of this creepy forest already,” said Amber, agreeing as well. All three of us ran in the direction of Ponyville. Me and Heartbreak’s running was a little slow and messed up because running on four legs felt more awkward than being on them.
